Rewatched Heat for the first time in a few years. What an awesome movie.

A SAG union member needs to earn at least 26k a  year to qualify for health care and currently 87% of the membership doesn't even hit that benchmark.

HTF Do you live in So.Cal for less than $100k a year salary? Even if you live extremely modestly. A 900 sq. ft. home runs like $600k out there.

Oppenheimer getting some love from the critics. Calling it Nolan's best films and some calling it "the best film of the century." Excited to see it!

I hope it's a return to form for him.  While I could appreciate Dunkirk, I would never watch it again and thought it was his least polished work.

 

And no, I didn't forget about The Dark Knight Rises when I say that.

Interesting, Dunkirk might be my favorite of his and I like them all a great deal.

Oppenheimer was excellent.  The way he framed the story was key to it being both an effective biopic, and a undeniably a Christopher Nolan movie.  I'm kinda surprised he pulled it off, and it's a very fascinating piece of his work.  The highest complement I can pay it is that it didn't feel like a 3 hour movie.

Oppenheimer is a 10/10. Best film I’ve seen since “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

He’s second best after Dark Knight IMO

Seeing Oppenheimer Monday. Barbie was hilarious, far exceeded my expectations, Gosling's comedic performance was off the charts.

Well after 3 months of nothing, the studios and streamers want to meet with the WGA on Friday. I don't expect a breakthrough here, but at least it's a start.

He was awesome. Loved Barbie, great movie. Reminded me a lot of the early 00's era comedy. Also a super important message being sent, I thought it hit all the right notes.

TMNT: Mutant Mayhem was a fun flick. Adults and kids will love it, adults probably more.

Best Turtles Movie ever!  Me and my son both loved this movie.  I think what I really liked about this movie was this was probably the first time in the movies that they really focused on the fact that the Turtles are teenagers and they acted like actual teenagers.

 

So many great moments in this, I laughed my but off when Donatello was talking about how he only has a stick

Little late to the party, but I finally got around to watching "Skyfall"  Dang that is a really good one, might even put it above Casino Roayle which has been my favorite bond film.

Casino Royale and Skyfall were both the best of the Craig Bond films, and 2 of my favorite Bond movies period. I prefer CR because Eva Green was amazing.
